Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Corrected entry: When the two henchmen of the main drug dealer visit the place of the "gardeners," they find the man who has his leg shot. However, his friend has been seen talking to the main drug dealer already, thus left their place. It's not really likely that he left without helping his friend out first. Also, there are some men at that place who have only been hit, not killed. They also could have helped him out having been awaken after a time.

Correction: They go there to get the three little chemists to check Nick the Greek's drugs. On entering they see the guy with his leg being shot and then in the next scene you see the main "chemist" talking to Rory Breacker. You have the scenes mixed up.

Corrected entry: When visiting Harry, Eddy and Tom find 4 bodies and their bag with money. Eddy leaves with the bag and Tom stays to grab the rifles. Eddy gives the bag to Soap, who is sitting in the back. But when Cris smashes into their car, he grabs the bag from Eddy who is sitting behind the wheel.

Correction: When Big Chris crashed into the back of Eddie and Soap the bag was launched forward onto the front seat beside Eddie due to the force of the crash.

Corrected entry: When the two guys steal the guns from the manor house the character calls the other "Kenny". Then the part where his hair gets shot he then starts to call him "Gary". This continues within the next scene.

Correction: Right before the scouse robbers enter the house, one of them (Dean) says to the other (Gary) "Let's call each other Kenny, all right Gary?" It's not a character mistake, they're just using fake names to keep their identities a secret.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Dog's friends are getting shot up and he decides to leave by jumping out the door on the first floor. When he falls to the ground the door is open. In the next scene where Bacon, Fat Man, Eddie, and Soup drive up the door is closed. How could it be closed if everyone is dead?

Correction: Not everyone is dead. Winston is the only one left alive, and he takes off with the van and the weed. He would have closed the door as he left.

Corrected entry: The physical amount of the money gets smaller and smaller as time passes. It fills a van when it's first robbed, but it definitely does not take too much space at their place when the boys unload it there.

Correction: The van does not just have money in it, it also has all the weed they just stole along with the money, which is why it takes up so much room.

Corrected entry: When Bacon's listening in to their neighbours' plans, he winces because he gets some feedback. But you can't get feedback if you're monitoring the recording on headphones, because there's no loudspeaker involved.

Correction: Any sound engineer knows that you CAN get feedback from headphones when they're too close to the mics and the gain of the mics is high. We can see that Bacon's headphones are right next to the mics, and the mics' gain would be set high to capture the voices from the next room.

Corrected entry: In the penultimate scene, Eddy notes that the shotguns are the only thing linking them to the crimes. Apparently he has forgotten the very loud gunfight at his house which left it trashed, and strewn with eight corpses and gallons of blood.

Correction: Nick doesn't have to rent the apartment with his own name, and in the scene where we see them enter, they were very careful and no-one seemed to notice them going in anyway.

Corrected entry: When Eddy is released from the Police station, he has a band-aid on his forehead. When he gets into the car to talk to his dad, it has disappeared.

Correction: When he walks down the steps of the police station, you can see him remove the band-aid and put it in his pocket.

Continuity mistake: You see Tom and Bacon et al break into the neighbour's place through a back door; however when it cuts back to them, you can see them entering through the front door.

Question: For the card game at Hatchet Harry's: one of the rules is that an open man can't see a blind one. I'm only familiar with "blind" referring to forced bets at certain spots on the table (e.g. the opening antes for Texas Hold 'Em). For this it seems to be a designation of the bet, for example when Harry counters Eddie's 10K, open, with 20K, blind, which is then topped by 20K, open. Could someone explain to me what open/blind means?

Answer: First, keep in mind they're not playing poker. It's similar, but there isn't a check/bet/call. They put in money, and you have to match it, then it's back on the other guy to match or raise. If you "see" the last guys bet, you put in double, and the cards are shown. Yes, "blind" means you didn't look, "open" means you did.

Answer: When you play a poker hand blind (I think it's in 5 card draw poker) you bet without looking at your cards and so you don't get the chance to change any cards. The others that are betting against you (the opens) have seen their cards, exchanged as many of their 5 cards as they want but then have to double your bet amount.

Answer: They're playing "3-card Brag." In this game, to play blind, you're not looking at your cards when betting. There are certain advantages to this because you only have to put in half the bet while blind. When the round gets to 2 players remaining, if one person wants to "see" a player's hand, he doubles the previous bet and the hands are revealed with the best hand winning (in the event of a tie, the player "seeing" loses). If a player is "open", meaning he looked at his hand, he can not double the bet and "see" a blind hand, he can only bet or fold. The round continues until the blind hand sees or there is a fold. At any time a person playing blind can look at their hand and then continues playing as an open hand, without the blind advantages.
